   A        Bm     G      D
I beg your pardon, hello darlin,
G        D               A
This is me your talking to
A            Bm
Sit down and tell me about it,
G                   D
you don't have to shout it at me,
G D                           A D
tell what you really want to do

Chorus:
                   G D A
Don't give me no alibis,
G           D                      A
No untrue stories your trying to justify
                G D A
Don't want no alibis,
G             D           A      D A G
Just another reason for another lie

Mountain gets steeper
The hole you dig gets deeper
You better stop and climb out
I'm trying to give it all to you
But baby, I can see right through you
Sometimes you lose what it's all about

Chorus:
Don't give me no alibis
Can't go through life trying to justify
Don't want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie
Don't give me no alibis
No untrue stories you're trying to justify
Don't want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie

Mountain gets steeper
The hole you dig is getting deeper
You better reach and pull yourself out
Nobody ever going to love you the way that I love you
I never want to see you doing without

Chorus:
Don't give me no alibis
No untrue stories you're trying to justify
Don't want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie
Don't give me no alibis
No untrue stories you're trying to justify
Don't want no alibis
Just another reason for another lie
